The University of Houston 1955 Yearbook staff undertook the task of creating a 45 rpm vinyl record to accompany the printed yearbook. Their innovative idea was to produce “Á yearbook with sound”. They gathered together recording experts from KUHT-TV and KUHF-FM, Band Leader Ed Gerlach and his orchestra, and “the voice of the idea” Jack Bailey.

Katie Buehner, Music Librarian and I built upon the work of the yearbook staff by creating a video from the digitized recording and images from the printed yearbook.

The University Libraries is now accepting artwork for its fourth Annual Student Art Exhibit, a competitive juried exhibit that will be on display in the M.D. Anderson Library February – April 2011. Jurors will include curators from the Menil Collection and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, as well as prominent members of the Houston arts community and UH School of Art faculty.

The exhibit is open to UH students of any classification or major. Students are welcome to submit multiple entries. See the requirements on the Call for Artists poster below.

Students should submit their work to the Architecture and Art Library, located in the College of Architecture. Artists must complete a waiver form, as well as an exhibition agreement for each work.
